THE INVINCIBLE WHITE SOX. Another Brilllant Victory Placed to Their Credit. BURDICK WILL ROTATE TO-DAY, And the lowa Corn Huske win Make a ¥Frantic Last Kndeavor to Win a Game From Omaha. Standing of the Clnbs, There has been but little change 1 the po- sition of the teams in the Western associ- ation since last Sunday's review. Omaha now has o lead over St. Paul of fifty-four points, seven points of which she gained dur- ing the week. Minneanolis still has a slight vantage over Sioux City for third place, and Denver has jumped ahead of St. Joe by de feating the latter yesterday. The Prohibi- tionists are lageing hopelossly The changes in the National league have been Chicago's biz jump over Cleveland, and Pittsburg’s magnificont work in pulling up and dashing pust Indianapolis, ~The Smoky eity luds, ere the present week is out, will be crowding Chicago for fourth place, ' Boston still leads with thirty-three poiuts the best of New York. In the American association the fizht for first place between St. Louis and Brooklyn is an unprecedentediy fierce one, with ‘“‘der boss club” clinging to her slight margin nobly., The chances ave, however, that the Bridegrooms, who will shortly be upon their own grounds, will pass them beforo the close of the weoek.

The White Sox downed the Corn Huskers again yesterday afternoon without turning a hair, From some cause or other the opinion scemed to prevail very generally before th.o game that Omaha was to be defeated. This idea probably arose out of the closeness of yesterday’s struggle, and the understanding that Burdick was going to be in the box for the Corn Huskers, Just why the fans shonld be apprehensive of disaster at Burdick’s hands, however, is one of those things that no fellow can find out. His exploits in the box have not been of suc a startling character as to justify these fore- bodings, and Mr. Burdick will probably realizo’ this afternoon that the White Sox all have their ‘‘good eye” with them just now, and that their bats are long and wide and full of limberness. Bethat as it may, however, Burdick did not twirl yesterday, neither did Omaha loose. Mickey Flanagan did the rotating, and Omaha, assisted by a lot of rotten playing on the Pumpkio Rollers’ part, knocked ouly | ;ll'xllflcon great big, fat, greasy ruus out of m. In fact, they heart. Dad Clarke and Jimmy Cooney were the local battery, and a very formidable one it proved, for they both put up a famous game. Still the Sioux Citys managed to gather n six runs themselves, but no one begrudged them, for didn't Omaha make seven more! Despite the fact that Canavan and Messitt made inexcusab) n all played brilliantly, Joe distinguish ing himself. Ifany inan has scen a better short field than Joe is giving us to-day, we'd like to see that man, that's all, He would be a curiosity, Doescher's umpiring was as clear cut as a cameo—in fact, it was faultless, and 1t is a rare pleasure 1o witness a game over which he presides. But the game: Messitt was first at bat and took his base on four wide balls. He stole second and went to third on & wild piteh, and then evoked ae storm of anplause by stealing home. Trust Scrappy Jack every time, ular old kleptomaniac. levelund also got his base on balls, but ‘was doubled up with Strauss, and Crooks’ out terminated the first sashshay. Clarke, not to be outdone by Flanagan, started out aiso by giving Orang Outang Cline his base on balls. Then Eddy Glenn made a single, but Powell went out on a high foul to Cooney, and Brosman hit to Walsh and was doubled up with Glenn, Ana then maybe the populace didn't roar over that fine work. Cooney scored in the second. He made a dandy single, stole second and went to third on a wild throw by Murphy, ana tnen after ‘Walsh had retired on a long fly to Genias, ran home on Captain Andrews’ safe drive. But the Corn Huskers came right back at us and gave things an ominous aspect by tying the score, Genivs was hit by a pitched ball, only to be forced out by Bradley's grounder to Crooks. Ola Brad then stole second and lodged on third on u wild piteh. Black’s hit sent him o the plate. Black stole sec- ond and also came home on a wild throw. The crowd didn't like that quite so well, and they proclaimed their displeasure in & chorus of very vociferous *ohs " The White Sox, however, didn't care o snap about such a little matter, and they went right on piling up ruus hand over fist, until they robbed the contest of every parti- cle of interest. They mude one more tally in the fourth, five in the fifth, one i the ‘seventh, two in the eighth and one in the ninth, 'In fact, they scored in every inniug but the sixth, and the great erowd hung 1ts head i shawe because they bad felt piqued when Sioux City made a couplo of little puny, emaciated, debilitated runs. But there 13 no use in _continuing the de- seription of the play, as it becomes monoton - ously one-sided and ended in an overwhelm lnq victory for the White Sox.

THE G. A, R i:‘NCAMl'i\lBNT. The Prospects Poor for a Very Large Attendance. Cnrcaco, August 24—[Special Telegram to Tug Bee.|—There, is no doubt that the Milwaukee encampment of the Grand Army this year will -be more meagerly attended than any of the previous encampments. De- partment Commander Martin admitted this this morning. *‘The railroads did1t,” said the generat, “‘and although a great many of them came to our terms it was too late, for a large number of veterans made arrange- ments to go elsowhere, The G. A. R. men 1n 1llnois will not attend in any considerable numbers, and we have made arrange- ments to accommodate but 1,500 Illinois boys in tents, while last year in the tents at the Columbus encampment there were not lesy than 10,000 veteraus from this city. Aside from the injury we received from the railroads, there is a large rounion at Peoria and anotfier at Chattanooga, where many of the boys will go. Quite a crowd also took in the unveiling of the soldiers’ monument at Tndiunapolis, 1t is mot true that Iam not taking my usual interest in the encampinent. My place is av Milwaukee, and there 1 shall be."” ———— The Charleston Makes a Good Run. SAN PEDRO CALIF, August 24.—The cruiser Charleston arrived here this morning, hay- ing made the ofticial trial run of four hours yesterday afternoon. ‘Iho trial was success- ful in overy way. The cruiser made an average of eighteen and one-eighth knots an hour during the whole run and developed an average of 6,700 horse power. The sea was very rough and with every roll of the vessel her provellers were lifted out of the water and the cngines ran with great rapidity, but_notwithstanding the se- vere strain 1o hitch occurred. The cruiser's test as to seaworthy qualities were severe, but she stood it well. When she reached smooth water in Santa Barbara bay it did did not make much difference in her speed, which averaged 1593 knots, ‘The long run under forced draft was a sovere strain on all the men obliged to be 1u tho engine room and fire room. The atmosphere was stifling, owing 1o the intense heat from the furnaces and the fact that the hatehes had to be coy- ered to keep the flying ciders from the ma- chinery.

BOARD OF EDUOATION, Eighth Grade Changes Reported— Letters From the Ooal Men. “We gnt as far as resolutions last time and will work from that point to-night," said Secrotary Pipor as the school board was called to order in speeial scssion last night. But they didn’t, beginning just as usual, ‘There having been considerable discussion regarding the groat mumber of schools in which eighth grade work 1s taught, and the consequent expense, Superintendent James had prepared a roport which he read. Untl five or six years ago, he said, these classes weore maintained in the high school building only, and the plan was a good one as long as 1t was practicable. But as the high school has grown and the territory of the city has been enlarged, it has been necessary to scat- ter the higher classos, till last year thoy wete taught in twelve different buildings. It may be that the classes have been scat- tered, but it seemoed necessary to malntain classes at DPacific, . Castellar, * Far- nam, Saratoga and Wainut Hill, even though the number of pupus in every case has been small. With any othor arrange ment most of them would have been de- prived of school priviloges, = Conditions have changed somewhat, and the superintendent said some of those classes might be consoli- dated without serious inconvemenc lzard might bo divided between tho Cass, Lake and Long. Hartman's eighth grade could be sent to the surrounding schools, but as the pupils opposed it, and it involyea no ex: tra expense, he suggested that it be main- tained, Next year, he said, there will be need of an eighth grade at Omaha View. The removal of frame buildings at Loeaven- worth reduces that school from eleven to eight, and increases Mason school corre- spondingly. Accordingly, he had arranged to remove the eighth grade from Leavenworth and attach it to Mason. Pupils who cannot at- tend Mason cun go to Pacific or Cass. Only the lower grades will be kept at Center school. the higher classes being scattored to Pacific, Hartman and Bancroft. This will 80 relieve Center school that no further call for additional room will be made in that dis- trict, Again, ho urged that Jackson and Pleas- ant schools be closed. Ho had assigned no teachers to those schools, and though the Janitors for both and a principal for one had already been hired, it was probablo that they could be disposed of elsewhere satisfactorily. Most of the Jackson pupils will go to Dodge school, and the Pleasant scliool pupils to Mason. Small additions will be made to Farnam and Leavenworth in consequence of this change. Of course the teachers whose higher grades were removed would not bo plensed, but the plan would result in a very considerable saving of money to the city. The report was placed on file. A couple of very pointed communications were received from the coal companies that were*‘cut out” when the board awarded con- tracts last Monday night. Jeff Bedford wrote, addressing the secretary : Dear sir: Replying to your verbal notice that I had been awarded the contract for wood, will say thut under the ruling and re- port of your committee, I cannot accept the award. My bid on soft coal was 9 cents per ton cheaper than parties to whom the contract was awarded; and as the recommendation of the committes was to give the entire supply to one party, I suggest that the supply of wood bo also included in same contract, Yours ete., JEFF BEDFORD, Mount & Grifiin wrote more at length, en- tering a protest against the Nebraska Fuel company getting the entire contract and branding the action of the committee as un- just, unbusiness-like and contrary to the ad- vertisement.of the board. *‘We were lower,” they say, “than the Nebraska Fuel com- pany on Jowa nut, their price being £3 per ton and our price being &2 A They further stated that they could not un- derstand why the contract was given to the Fuel company, unless it was to comply with their *very peculiar condition that they wanted all or none.” This latter condition they looked upon as a bluff, and thought they should be given the Iowa nut and hard coal contracts if the-board intended to act in good faith, Both letters were referred to the commit- tee on supplies, and as the contract has not yet been signed the whole matter was sent back to the same comumittee, The committee on high school was author- ized to expend not to exceed $507 for appara- tus and supplies for physics and chemistry department of the high school. Miss Wyckoff was elected acting prircipal of Long school. Mr. Wehrer offered a resolution that Bumany, the principal of the manual train- hool, be removed for alleg: ineomy and it found a dangerous ady sc ond. Bumann’s champion, ille, ‘saved hus client by adroitly caging the resolution m the high school committee. Lee Estelle was elected attorney for the board at a yearly salary of €500, Mrs. Wisby was elected janitor of Central Park school at $0_a month, and the board adjourned to mect Monday vight. —————— DULL ROUTINE WORK And Lots of It in the District Court Yesterday Afternoon.

THE BEARING SEA MATTER. A Rumor That Lincoln Has Sont Important Doouments, STRICT SILENCE MAINTAINED. The State Department Rofusos to Give Any lnformation on the Subject ~Army Matters—Postmas- ters Appointod. Wasnixerox Buneav, Tire OMAnA Ben, FOUNTERNTIr STRERT, Wasiixatoy, D. C.; August 4. 1t is understood that the stato department has redently received from the Americam minister in London important documents bearing upon the controversy ovor the jurise diction in Behring sea. Tho officials of the department maintain the strictest silence concerning the wholo subject, and manifest & disposition to throw all enquirers off thei¢ guard by statements to tho effect that nothing has been done since the issuance of the president’s pro lamation, This is true in a moasure. Nothing has been * done on this se of the wator, but thero are oxcellent reasons for asserting that Mr. Lincoln was instructed to negotiate with the British foreign oMico for an agreoment for the protection of tho seal islauds. The department has no idea of carrying out the policy partly perfected by Mr. Bayard, but it is generally known that the prosident, as well as Socretary Blaine, has a poliey in this respect which contewplates a joint supor- sion of the seal islands by the United States as well as England. The United States has no present inontion of abandoning the claim to the avbsolute control of the sea. But this country is met at the outses by the previous declarations on the same subject in 1824, when Russia attempted to assume that to her bolonged the sole right to coutrol the valuable fishing wrounds of Alaska. The treasury dopartment gives no further information to the public concerning the recent seizures, un4 the state department claims to have no' knowledge and no desire for knowledge upon the subject. “Itis,” said Auditing & otary Wharton v, ' muatter which bertains to the trons- department solely. When a olaim is made by the owners of the seized vessels it will, of course, come to this departwent, but up to the present time no such cluim' has been prosented.” There is a great deal of doubt as to the probability of the presentation of such claims, It is thought that the British authoritics are not desirous of a controversy with the United States over the matter, especially in view of the desire on the part of both governments that the misunder- standing shall be amicably settled with as little strain as vossible, In line with this belief it is pointed out that all the rory talk which has appeared in the papers as repro- senting the views of “the other side” has not come from Kngland, but from Canada, and while the colonies ave more directly and materially in ted than the mother country, they ure unable to even present a claim without the consent of land. In the meantime the United States cutters will continue to seize all bt beyond a forfeiture of the s found on bourd of them giere will be nothing more than a formal seizure, which will prob- ably result in every case as did the seizure of the Black Diamond.

We asked this privilege from said car company as a matter of benefit to the public us well as oursclves, for by this course we were enabled to covera far larger amount of territory than we could otherwise do, and also were enabled to better facilitate tho de- livery of our mails, for which priviloge we most heartily thanik the horso and cable car companics, In an interview suid to have taken place with Mr. D. H. Goodrich, secre= tary and treasurer, ho is quoted to have said that mail_carriers were comvelled to pay street car fare in all other cities, and also that Mr. Goodrich is ignorantof the fact that the letter carriors did do a great el of active service in ussisting to procure the last franchise for cable cars; also that Postmas- ter Gallagher stated correct facts i his interview with a ke reporter under dato of August 22, Mr, Smith, superintendent of the horse car company, in‘an lnterview with® » World-Herald of August 23, is quoted us '8, ana coy ers more territory.
